Ok, so I have this habit of impulse buying at record stores. I picked this little gem up, not even sure why. I listened to it once, and shelved it. I was NOT impressed.
Three months later...
Butterfly Boucher found it's way back into my CD player, and ever since, it hasn't found it's way out. In fact, it is one of my top 10 favorite albums!
There are a couple things to keep in mind when listening to Butterfly Boucher. She plays just about every instrument on the album. She was in a band with her sisters and released her own solo CD, which I *believe* she produced as well, but don't quote me on that.
Here's the breakdown of the songs for you. I don't give individual song ratings, instead I explain the appeal or lack thereof.
1. Life Is Short - First of all, what a way to start off a CD! Oscar Wilde put it best, "Life is too short to take seriously", and I believe this song mirrors that message. Butterfly has a way with melodies and this song is almost at the top of her game!
2. Can You See The Lights? - Another high energy song, and do they ever get catchier! It isn't highly memorable, but a LOT of fun to sing to.
3. I Can't Make Me - One of THE BEST songs on the CD. About emotional involvement, and how love isn't forced. "I can't make me love you/And you can't make me either" is a sample lyric from the chorus. Not as high energy as the first two but beautiful.
4. Another White Dash - If you've heard of Butterfly Boucher, you've heard this song. Perhaps my favorite, maybe not, but I often find myself listening to this song twice when listening to the album. The image of being in a car, watching the lines on the road comes to mind when listening to this. It's simply amazing.
5. Soul Back - I didn't like this song at first. It was just silly! But the more I listened, the more I understood how crucial this song was to the album. I don't think it has any intrinsic meaning, but the album wouldn't be the same. It's fun, a bit bluesy, very catchy.
6. A Walk Outside - This song has one of the most beautiful lyrics, "Which came first, the love or the love song?" right smack dab in the middle. It's slower, just as beautiful. She has a great job of using uncommon instrumentation to showcase her melodies.
7. Never Leave Your Heart Alone - If you like your songs engaging and poignant, you may not enjoy this song. Butterfly's voice sucks me in every time, and I find this song amazing. It is slow, and not extravagant, but worth a few listens.
8. Busy - I love this song. This is tied for first with two other songs as my favorite song. It's got a great message ("This could be so fun/I might just like it/I might just love it/I just don't know yeah/I might get busy/I might get lonely/I just don't know yeah/Can't wait to find out") that life is what you make of it, and if you greet it openly, who knows what could happen? It's, again, beautiful, and truly one of her best songs.
9. A Beautiful Book - This is the third song tied for my favorite. This song is about everything having dreams, even if we don't know them. A tree wanting to be a beautiful book, a bear wanting to be a warm winter coat, sand wanting to become glass for eyeglasses, etc. Fast-paced and well sung, this song catches my breath every time.
10. Don't Point, Don't Scare It - If you didn't like #7, you won't like this song. It's much slower, much simpler. It's amazing. Give it a listen, I don't think I can explain it properly.
11. Never Let It Go - A fun funky song about holding on to love. She sings, "Another song about love gone right". She is such an optimist, and it shows in every single song. This one is no different.
12. Drift On - Another slow song, much in the vein of #7 and #10. This one, Im not sure what it's about but I love it all the same. Again, her voice draws me in and I find it irresistable. Give it a listen or two.
Overall, an amazing album. Muchly worth whatever it costs.
